The little shopping guide who promised to help was dragged away to somewhere unknown by my childhood sweetheart. What should I do now?

After hesitating for a while, he walked towards the store selling sportswear.

There is still some money left in the budget, so I can buy some sportswear, sweatpants and the like...

----

In the corner of the shopping mall, Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye stood face to face, holding hands.

Of course, it was Tang Lingfei who was holding Song Xingye's hand, and Song Xingye was like a thief who was caught in the act, with his hands hanging limply and his little face lowered, making it impossible to see his expression or guess what he was thinking.

Tang Lingfei was indignant: "You, if you like him, why didn't you tell me? You even lied to me that you were going home, and then secretly ran to see him... Why did you do this?"

Song Xingye still lowered his head, but asked quietly: "If I tell you that I like him, will you give him to me?"

Tang Lingfei didn't expect that she would have to face such a problem and was stunned.

Song Xingye: "The person you like is not a toy or a book that you can take turns talking to... that won't work."

"Then I'll give him to you?"

As she said this, Tang Lingfei had a feeling she had never experienced before. Although it was just a sentence, a possibility, and it had not happened in reality, she felt as if her chest had been hit by a club, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

Song Xingye suddenly raised his head and stared at her, and asked, "Are you really willing?"

"I……"

Are you really willing? To this, Tang Lingfei found that she had no answer at all.

Song Xingye stared at her best friend and whispered, "I've actually thought seriously about whether to give him to you, but I don't want to. I really don't want to just stand there and watch you two playing together. But I don't want to make you unhappy either. Besides my family and him, the person I care about most is you."

Tang Lingfei asked sullenly, "Then what do you want to do?"

Song Xingye laughed at herself and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Isn't it funny? I don't know what to do, so I kept it a secret from you. I don't want to make you unhappy. But I also want to be with him, play together, chat together, go shopping together, just like those classmates in the class who are dating without telling their teachers or parents. I am especially happy when I am with him."

Tang Lingfei: "...but it's not really a relationship."

Song Xingye: "Yes, it's not true. I don't know how he would react if I really confessed to him."

Tang Lingfei imagined the scene, recalled what Xu Zhe had said in the past two years, and tried to guess: "He would say that we are all too young."

Song Xingye sighed, "Yeah, he said he didn't want to date in junior high school, not even in high school. So what should I do?"

Tang Lingfei: "So you just want to say nothing, not tell him, and don't make it clear to me."

Song Xingye: "If I make it clear to you, will you agree?"

Tang Lingfei let go of her hand and fell silent.

If you knew that your best friend was having bad intentions towards her childhood sweetheart, would you agree? How is that possible?

After a long silence, Tang Lingfei couldn't help but sigh: "Why did it become like this..."

Song Xingye said: "Now you know, we all know, what do you want to do in the future? Will you go to him and confess your love?"

confession?

Recalling the tragic scene when Sun Jiaqi confessed to Xu Zhe not long ago, she shook her head vigorously.

"He told me not to fall in love too early, why should I get into trouble?"

Song Xingye asked again: "Then what do you think is the best way?"

Tang Lingfei couldn't help but pull her hair, "How should I know? It's so annoying. Nothing works. Let's just let him get lost. It's just the two of us playing without him!"

Hearing her angry words, Song Xingye laughed: "Of course you can, but if Senior Sister Shen Lan comes back next time..."

Tang Lingfei: "Ahhh, don't mention her, it makes me even more annoyed!"

Song Xingye suddenly hugged Tang Lingfei and whispered in her ear: "How about we go back and ask Xu Zhe for his opinion?"

Tang Lingfei, who was held in his arms, could not help but freeze: "Telling him, wouldn't that be the same as confessing my feelings?"

"Don't confess, just ask him who he prefers to be with. If he says he likes you more, I will consciously keep my distance from him, okay?"

That being said, Song Xingye knew her heart very well. Keeping a distance was just a temporary solution. She didn't want to give up Xu Zhe so easily.

However, Tang Lingfei broke free from her embrace and said seriously: "No, it's not fair to you. Because, even if he said he liked you more, I would not keep my distance from him."

Song Xingye was stunned.

Her best friend was so straightforward that it was difficult for her to deal with her.

After staring at each other in silence for a while, Song Xingye whispered, "How about we ignore this issue for now and just... go back and think about it carefully, and talk about it later?"

Tang Lingfei: "Drag it on?"

Song Xingye: "Besides dragging it out, what else can you do?"

Tang Lingfei: "..."

The two girls looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Xu Zhe didn't find where the two little girls were, but he found his mother in Aunt Li Caixia's shop.

Zeng Jing is trying on clothes.

She came out of the fitting room and saw her son coming over. She said happily, "Look, how about this one?"

Xu Zhe had always thought that he was a complete novice when it came to dressing, but now he couldn't help but start to doubt his life. Because he discovered that there was no limit to being a good dresser.

"Mom, are you serious about wearing sweatpants with this light dress?"

Zeng Jing turned her head and looked at herself in the mirror: "No? I think these pants look good."

"Only this skirt or this pair of pants are good. But when you put the two together, it's like..." Xu Zhe tried to find a suitable description to show the absurdity, "like a pancake wrapped in a steamed bun. Can we eat it like this? I can only say it's not against the law."

It's not illegal, but it's a bit of a serious problem.

Zeng Jing turned around in front of the mirror and said, "These are not sweatpants, they should be considered casual pants."

Xu Zhe: "Don't quibble, the nature is the same. Otherwise, why don't you ask Aunt Li for her opinion?"

Li Caixia smiled but said nothing. It is not difficult to imagine the psychological impact on the women's clothing seller when he tried to help Zeng Jing choose clothes.

Xu Zhe asked again: "Mom, I never saw you dressed like this before, why are you wearing this today..."

"Because I'm in a good mood today. Isn't it normal to try something different when you're in a good mood? Oh, forget it, I'll go change it."

Zeng Jing turned around and went back into the fitting room.

At this time, Xu Zhe noticed that Li Caixia's eyes seemed a little strange.

So he asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Li Caixia pointed outside the store.

Xu Zhe turned his head and saw Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye standing side by side.

"Why is that girl here too..." Li Caixia muttered.

Xu Zhe knew that the auntie was talking about Tang Lingfei. When Tang Lingfei found him and Song Xingye just now, his mother and Aunt Li were not around. But it was better this way, because the two elders did not see the embarrassment at that moment, did not see Song Xingye's shock, and did not see Tang Lingfei's aggrieved face that was about to cry.

He walked over and stood in front of the two girls.

Then he asked, "What did you talk about just now?"

Song Xingye smiled and explained, "Fei Fei asked me why I came here without telling her, and I said I forgot to tell her. Now it's okay, Fei Fei is not angry with me anymore."

It's that simple?

Xu Zhe couldn't help but feel suspicious.

However, Tang Lingfei's expression did not reveal any clues. She asked, "Have you bought all the clothes?"

Xu Zhe shook the bag in his hand: "Four or five sets, that's enough."

Song Xingye: "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Tang Lingfei: "Yeah, it's noisy and stuffy in here..."

This pair of best friends who seemed to be at odds not long ago now seemed to be reconciled, which made Xu Zhe full of questions. He really wanted to ask, have you two discussed something? Or is this just a moment of calm before the storm?

At this time, Zeng Jing changed back into her original clothes and came out of the fitting room.

Xu Zhe walked over, handed the bags in his hand to his mother, and said, "You go home first. I'll go out for a walk with my friends and then come back."

Zeng Jing: "We've already bought all the clothes, what are you still shopping for?"

Xu Zhe: "You don't have to worry about this. If it really doesn't work, just buy all the clothes you thought were nice. I'll pay for them."

Zeng Jing sneered, "Alright, alright, I'm still asking you to pay for it? Just go and have fun."

----

Xu Zhe, Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye walked on the sidewalk near the mall and were silent for a long time.

There were not many pedestrians around, but the traffic on the road next to them was denser. From time to time, drivers with road rage would honk their horns, but no matter how loud the horns were, they were just deaf ears to the three of them.

Xu Zhe was secretly trying to figure out what the two girls beside him were thinking. He knew that if he asked them directly, "What did you guys just talk about without me?", he would definitely not get an honest answer.

So he asked tentatively: "Fei Fei is not angry now, right?"

Tang Lingfei smiled and said, "I wasn't angry at all."

Xu Zhe: "Uh..."

Tang Lingfei: "Why, you don't believe me? Then tell me, why should I be angry?"

Xu Zhe: "Is there a possibility that you know that Xingye came to me secretly and secretly came to me without telling you, so you are angry?"

Tang Lingfei: "But Xiao Ye has already explained it to me clearly."

Xu Zhe suddenly wanted to tease her, so he said, "Really? Then next time when you're not around, you won't be angry if I play with Xingye?"

Tang Lingfei put her hands on her hips and said firmly: "As long as you don't hide it from me, I won't be angry!"

Xu Zhe: “Oh, I see.”

But after just a few seconds, Tang Lingfei's tone was no longer so certain. She couldn't help but ask, "What do you play when I'm not around? Is it any different from when I'm here?"

Xu Zhe shrugged: "Who knows, maybe we can talk about studying or something like that."

Tang Lingfei curled her lips and said, "Tsk, can that be called playing? Skiing, skating, playing ball, watching movies, these are called playing."

Xu Zhe: "But Xingye and I also pass notes during class."

At this time, Tang Lingfei was walking in the middle, Xu Zhe was on the left, and Song Xingye was on the right. As soon as he finished saying "pass the note", Tang Lingfei was stunned and couldn't help looking at her best friend on the right.

Song Xingye's smile was still calm: "Sometimes I feel bored in class, so I use notes to chat. Feifei, if you were my deskmate, I would definitely pass you more notes."

"Oh..." Tang Lingfei nodded, but didn't seem so reassured.

Observing the expressions of the two besties, Xu Zhe guessed that they had probably discussed something. For example, how to get along with him in the future?

Although he had no experience in love and no experience of getting along with the opposite sex above puberty, Xu Zhe thought he was not an idiot in emotional intelligence. He could guess that Song Xingye and Tang Lingfei both had some feelings for him. But he couldn't guess to what extent these feelings were, and what they were planning now.

Xu Zhe suddenly sighed.

Although girls are cute, he still finds it troublesome. In comparison, program code is much clearer and easier to understand, even if it is uncommented - you can tell whether the code works or not by running it once, but it is hard to guess what girls are thinking.

Since they didn't express their feelings clearly, even if he wanted to refuse, he couldn't.

[When did I start to like him? I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I liked him a long time ago but I didn't know it. Maybe I just started to really like him recently. But when did I realize this? I guess it was when other girls appeared around him that I realized it. ]
